Hi guys.

Looks like I'm in luck and should be able order my new PC today/tomorrow.

Just looking for some feedback on my build. I'm trying to build a gaming rig that will fit in my tv stand hence the Cosair 250D. I'm open to suggestions as long as the case stays the same and components fit. I'm trying to keep this build as cheap as possible. But i can stretch it a little if it's worth it. I haven't included windows 8.1 in the picture below as I'm considering just getting the 3month trial and then upgrading it.

I'll mainly be playing Archage, Wow etc on my Samsung 37" LED TV.

It's been a long time since I built my own rig so feel free to rip this build apart lol.

P.S modular PSU would be better with it being a small case to save on the clutter :-) also feel like I'm forgetting something from my build? Dunno if it'd just cause the Mobo and CPU are bundled together.

EDIT: Just thinking out loud, the reason for my MSI card is purely to match the Mobo, obviously if there's better. I was thinking how much of a bonus I'd get for upgrading to a 280x? Or even switching to a NVIDEA card. Would also like it to be sort of future proof. So just a gfx upgrade would allow me to play high end games etc.

I've got a quick question regarding my build. When I fit the H100i, I'm guessing mounting it to the side is the best place, but in the front would I be able to fit a 200mm fan like the case specs suggest? Just I see a lot of people only fitting 140s?

Also is the 2 smaller 60mm fan spaces worth using?

With mine fitting into the tv stand I was planning on the front 200 mm fan being set as a pull, and the rad/ 60mm's as a exhaust ?
